Updated Silver Facts Part 48: Silver and Idia (pt2)

Idia struggles with being forced to sing at Noble Bell College and Silver encourages him to conquer his aversion, saying that he will be a better mage for it.

Ortho reveals that Idia isn’t actually averse to singing at all and Silver guesses that he must be feeling self-conscious, teaching him the secret to singing as it was taught to him by Lilia: looking at his reflection in water.

Silver says the trick has been passed down since olden times, and has helped him a lot. (Idia: “What are you even talking about? I literally don't know what that's supposed to accomplish.”)

When the reflection trick fails Silver decides that practice is their only option, and Idia should sing in front of them to build his confidence (Idia: “I DON'T WANNAAA!”)

Silver and Idia are grouped together in Fleur City, and when Idia becomes animated over the discovery of hand-crafted wood figures Silver says, “I'm glad Idia's enjoying himself. He's been so quiet, I was worried he might be feeling under the weather.”

After Malleus, Azul and Idia read Rollo’s diary Silver comments on how Idia has again become quiet, wondering what has affected him so much.

After hearing of Idia’s exploits with Rollo, Silver says that Idia deserves to celebrate his accomplishments. Ruggie suggests and air toss and both Silver and Sebek agree, with Silver encouraging Sebek to lift Idia’s legs. (Idia is spared by Malleus hurrying the group along.)

Idia is still resistant to having to sing at the social, saying that assuming one’s own voice is a gift is “kinda presumptuous,” he could never be that optimistic, and it would be better for all of them if he sat out the performance so as not to make things harder for the rest of the group.

Silver interrupts Idia and Sebek’s argument to ask why it is that Idia must constantly put himself down, saying, “I know that sometimes being pessimistic can make you feel better, but that doesn't mean you should talk that way all the time. Eventually, those dark thoughts will negatively impact your behavior and your future!”

Idia says he is weirded out by SIlver’s lecture (“I literally told you guys I couldn't be a lead singer”) and Silver reveals that he knows that Idia has actually been practicing daily, in secret from the rest of the group: “It's not about whether the song is a success or not. The important thing is that we all banded together to sing with one voice.”

Silver assures him, “People believe in you. And not just Ortho. Malleus, Azul, and everyone here... myself included, of course.”

Sebek comments on how rare it is to see Silver so talkative and Idia responds, “who has a motivational speech ready to go at the drop of a hat? Diasomnia gets a mega-yikes from me.”

Silver goes to Idia after the performance to compliment him again, saying, “What I said before didn't fully convey how I felt. I wanted to share my thoughts in greater depth.”

Silver apologizes for the presumptuousness of his speech, as he just wanted to encourage him, but then “the rest sort of…happened.”

Silver says that Idia put on a wonderful show, and his voice has a kind quality to it: “I could feel how much you care.”
